The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

The Kingdom of Nord, located in the north of the continent and close to the sea, can be said to be extremely rich in water resources. Creeks, rivers, lakes, and swamps crisscross the land.

Except for the roads built by the kingdom, it is almost difficult for large troops to pass in other places. Moreover, the terrain in the country is still hilly and the forest resources are very rich. There are all kinds of trees of extremely high age.

This can be seen from the fact that the lords of the Nord Kingdom like to use wood to build castles.

In the past, when there was peace, civilians belonging to the Kingdom of Nord liked to fish on the rivers, farm in the lakes, pick fruits on the hillsides, and plant flax and wheat on both sides of the roads.

Although this kind of life is not considered wealthy, after being exploited by the nobles, they can barely make ends meet.

But now, everywhere Alan walked along was deserted, with almost no people around. Even though it was late autumn, the fish were the fattest in autumn, and it was the right time to catch them.

"Damn Dark Cult."

Seeing that the wheat fields around him were not being taken care of, Dantès cursed bitterly next to Allen. This young man just couldn't bear to see anyone disturbing the lives of these poor civilians.

"Dantes, don't let your anger affect your thoughts. The situation around here is obviously not right. I remember there is a village nearby. What is it called?"

This is obviously abnormal. According to the information provided by Ragnar, the Dark Sect should besiege Marshal Iden's troops at Fort Kulin and Tiha. This is just a common place between Sargos and Herusberg. village.

Judging from the map, this place should be protected by the second line of defense of the Nord troops. In theory, it should be safe.

"This is the village of Lubel, sir. The crabs and flax here are very famous."

The speaker was a dark-skinned middle-aged man named Rolf. He had a face full of bitterness and hatred. One look at him and he knew that he had not lived a satisfactory life in the first half of his life.

There is a short, thick black beard between the temples, and the horoscope under the nose makes it look even more aged. However, the bald head, which symbolizes the strong, looks a bit intimidating.

This man was not recruited by Allen in the tavern, but came to him by himself, just as the team stepped out of the Sagos camp.

Rolf told Allen that his ancestors were once subordinates of Holy King Henry. For many years, the family has been circulating heroic stories of resisting the Dark Knights.

Therefore, he is also very concerned about the actions of the dark sect, and at the same time, he is doing his best to help the civilians who are bewitched.

However, in the process, Rolf naturally discovered Allen, who had been fighting against the dark sect, which made him pay attention to this mercenary leader who was much younger than himself.

After a long period of observation, Allen's ability and character were recognized by Rolf, so he decided to find Allen during this turbulent period to jointly fight against the Dark Sect's invasion of the mainland.

However, joint confrontation also depends on the situation. Rolf proposed two methods.

One is to fight with Allen, but not obey orders. They are partners working together for the goal. There is no relationship between superiors and subordinates. Moreover, he does not need a salary. He only cares about food and accommodation. If he can borrow a piece of armor, he can wear it. Better.

The other is that he can become Allen's subordinate and obey orders, but this is conditional, that is, he must defeat him in a one-on-one duel.

Allen looked at the seemingly powerful man in front of him, and long-standing memories resurfaced again.

In this script with a main plot, Rolf is considered a very important hero's follower. Although his combat power is not high, compared with the real top powerhouses, he can only be regarded as cannon fodder for a few more fights.

But this is not the main reason why Allen remembers him. More importantly, at the end of the plot, Rolf seems to have a gem in his hand that will be given to the protagonist. Of course, the premise is that the protagonist's actions can convince him.

It’s not as simple as getting recognition, it requires more effort.

For example, defeating the Dark Cult's army on the battlefield, or simply killing one or two of the opponent's generals and taking back the town from the opponent's hands, would have a certain chance of getting Rolf to donate the gem.

However, if you want to do this, you must keep him by your side. The relationship between partners is relatively unstable.

If the other party is free, then if something happens, he will definitely leave as soon as he says it, and you cannot stop him with a knife. This kind of behavior will first lose the favor of others.

So when faced with the invitation for a duel, Allen had no reason not to agree. During the battle, he didn't even think about using magic. Instead, he clenched the sword in his hand and started a fight with the middle-aged man in front of him on the street. A duel.

Then Allen won.

To be honest, Rolf is very strong, even stronger than the impression in Allen's mind. He is extremely physically strong, and he is even more proficient in using his family's secret skills. He holds an ancient sword in both hands and draws dangerous lines in the air. Moreover, in the domineering attack, the yellow light representing Qi is even more faintly visible.

With this kind of strength, it is not 01:30 better than those who rob caravans on the street.

It's just that for the current Allen, it's a bit unsatisfactory. He has made great progress in these years. Apart from those extremely powerful abilities, his combat level is already considered top-notch, at least better than those. The Nazgûl are beyond that.

Faced with Rolf's stormy attacks, Allen rarely took action. His agile body easily got rid of all Rolf's attacks in a series of flashes. While moving, a pair of sharp His eyes carefully searched for the opponent's weaknesses.

After ten moves, Allen spotted the gap between Rolf's slashing moves, hit it with his sword, and knocked the ancient sword to the ground.

Then, a long sword with a cold light was placed on Rolf's dark neck.

At this point, he was convinced and officially joined Allen's team.

Although this guy looks very anxious and looks like he is in his forties, his actual age is less than thirty, only 28 years old. This kind of thing that goes beyond common sense makes the unprepared Allen's expression change. .

This guy is too impatient.

Since he came of age, Rolf has been wandering around the continent, traveling to the four major kingdoms except Kugit. He has a fairly good understanding of the local customs, villages and towns.

So at this time, he was able to give the first answer and also introduced the local characteristics.

"Yes, it's called Lubert. I remember that this village is not far away. Rolf, take dozens of your best brothers and come with me to have a look. Dantes, you will follow with a large army. Later, if you find any abnormality, please support us directly."

Although Allen's current order is to go to Herusburg, the situation near Uriel Village is obviously not particularly normal.

The nearby area had most likely been infiltrated or even captured by the Dark Sect. He would be a little worried if he didn't take a look.

Don't stay in the castle and be made a dumpling by the enemy. He himself can run away and fight whenever he wants, but following his subordinates is not so convenient.

The trail to Lubel was not particularly wide and was not suitable for large troops to march, so Allen planned to take dozens of freedom knights with him and Rolf to check out the situation.

If nothing goes wrong, relying on the speed of the cavalry, they can come back in time and continue on their way.Even if an accident is discovered, the cavalry can remain as flexible as possible and escape from under the enemy's nose.

Moreover, Allen can now summon two knights on the battlefield at any time, totaling a thousand elite warriors.

If the value of the enemies here is high enough and worth paying such a high price, then Allen doesn't mind teaching them what surprise is.

Lubel is just a small village with a population of several hundred. It is nominally a subordinate territory of Sargos and is directly managed by King Ragnar.

However, because the distance is too far, the gentlemen of Sargos usually don't care about this place at all. Except when they have to pay taxes every year, tax collectors with the army are willing to set foot here.

Normally, this place is almost autonomous, managed jointly by village elders and local prestigious retired veterans. By the way, there is also an official representing the royal family, Lord Julian.

It's just that this official representing Ragnar doesn't stay in the village most of the time. Even if he comes to the village occasionally to inspect, he won't care about these stupid things.

Therefore, in the village of Lubel, there were almost no particularly big incidents. If anything happened, the door would be closed and the village elders would mediate privately, without alerting official figures.

But today was different. A huge crowd gathered in the square in the center of the village, and whispers continued to sound.

"What's going on? I remember that Julian and Giles have a very good relationship. Last time they were grilling fish and drinking by the river, and they even gave me a cage of crabs. How could such a thing happen? situation."

"The specific reason is not clear. Ever since the man in black robe came, Julian's situation has been a little not right. We are not allowed to take care of ourselves like before. This time, a decree was issued prohibiting going out. I heard that Giles questioned the authenticity of this decree and went to Sargos to verify it, which led to the current situation."

"Is this going to burn Giles to death?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's just to scare him. Giles' son is also a temple guard. He should be fine. Just keep an eye on him."

Usually, the square in the center of the village is used to take care of crops, such as spreading wheat to dry and beating flax. At most, there has been some big change in Yue Duo Kingdom. The elders roared here and told everyone. Just talk about it.

Nowadays, a large amount of dry firewood is piled up on the hard ground. A tall white-haired old man is tied to a tall execution rack in the middle, and his rough voice roars like a thunder.

"This is a heretical act. I absolutely do not believe that His Majesty the King would issue an order to burn me to death. I do not believe it. I will go to Sargos to seek confirmation. This is my right as a guardian of the temple."

"Rights?" The speaker's eyes were blurry, and his pale and plump face was flushed with a sickly color. His luxurious robe was held up by his fat, and it seemed a bit difficult to stand like that.

"You question the king's decree. This is an act of treason. On behalf of the royal family, I have the right to execute you in an emergency. As for when and how to execute it, you don't need to worry about it."

"You have no right to judge me, no!!! What are you all doing in a daze? Are you watching Julian messing around?"

Simmons' roar caused a commotion among the onlookers. He had a high reputation in the village, and some people were already urging his fellow villagers to fight against him.

"You said treason is treason?"

"Do you want to burn whoever you want?"

"No one can judge a retired temple guard without a decree signed by the king!!"

As the shouts continued, the surging crowd began to crowd forward.

"Want to rebel?"

Feeling threatened, Julian yelled, and the dozen or so soldiers guarding the execution platform pulled out their weapons. Faced with a crowd that far exceeded them, fully armed, they took a step forward without hesitation. The face under the helmet was very calm, without any emotion.

As long as someone dares to take a step forward, they will wave their swords without hesitation.

"What a waste. He can't do even the smallest things well."

A soft, gentle and charming voice sounded from the black robe. Although it was reprimanding, the person who heard it still felt as if their bones were a little lighter.

A charming face emerged from the hood as the words were spoken, and a graceful and graceful figure was looming under the loose robe.

It is "Kiss of Death" Hull, one of the three commanders of the Dark Sect.

Faced with Hull's scolding, Julian, whose face was flushed, reacted extremely strongly: "Yes, yes, I will take care of this matter right away."

"No need, as long as you can gather people together, you can barely complete the task. Haha, as a reward, I will sacrifice you to the great God of Darkness."

The charming face said chilling words, a white and delicate hand stretched out from the black robe, picked up Julian, who weighed almost two hundred kilograms, and then violently threw him into the woodpile. superior.

Then a red light flashed, and the oil-soaked pyre burst into flames, and Simmons and Julian's screams immediately rang out.

Faced with such an unexpected incident, the onlookers could not react at all for a moment. Coupled with the intimidation of the elite soldiers, the crowd suddenly calmed down, leaving only the "crackling" sound of flames burning wood and screams. sounded together.

Hull didn't pay attention to the changes around him at all, but took out a jet black wand from his arms, with a small skull with a faint black mist inlaid on the top.

If you observe carefully, there are two breathtaking purple lights in the skull's eyes, as if they are a pair of evil eyes looking down on all living beings.

Immediately, Hel raised the strange wand high above his head, revealing a slender and well-proportioned arm as white as snow. Because of the excessive movement, the black robe rippled due to the trembling of his body. .

A jet-black beam of light spit out from the skull's mouth and shot toward the sky in front of everyone's gaze.

In an instant, a huge change occurred in the sky. The churning dark clouds suddenly appeared, covering the sky that was clear just now. A huge and ferocious head loomed in the dark clouds, looking at the villagers gathered in the square.

This was a well-thought-out sacrifice. The Dark Cult was very skilled in this area, and Hel knew the process very well. She calmed down and began to pray to the God of Darkness.

Amidst the increasingly louder prayers, a hazy purple light emerged from the top of each villager's head, and a dazed expression appeared on his face.

Suddenly, an arrow with white light flew towards the wand like lightning.

Allen's figure also appeared in the distance, flying towards this side at high speed. (End of chapter)
